Do you remember my prayer for my tormentors while I was on the cross? ‘Father forgive them, for they know not what they do’. Do you realize the understatement in this case? All the issues of time and eternity converged here and they were totally unaware. Have you ever prayed this prayer yourself? For you live in a spiritual world, with unnoticed and seemingly insignificant acts having consequences for eternity. You understand this but those who walk in darkness have no comprehension of it. Is ignorance of the law a valid legal defense? Yet it is a gracious thing for you to pray this same prayer for others.
Thanks to the grace of our Lord Jesus and the teachings and friendship of Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler, I have been enabled to help others hear our Lord’s voice and record their conversations. Copies of these fruits from those who have learned to hear God’s voice are being sent to me to share with others. What is shared below can apply to all of us. May I share with you that which I believe will be a blessing to you? Here is one from "Evie":
Do you think the Bible verse saying that all things are lawful leaves the door open for you to do whatever you want? Yet the Bible goes on to say that not all things are profitable, and gives very clear guidance on specific things that are prohibited. What are you to do in areas where the Bible is silent? You should not do whatever you feel like without restraint, but everyone should seek my guidance according to his own conscience. I don’t want you to think of my word as a book of laws, but rather as a guide to the relationship you have with me. Let it lead you to have a heart set on pleasing me.

Are you familiar with the story of the good Samaritan? Do you assume that Samaritans were inherently good? This is a commonly accepted idea today, but to see it this way is to miss the point of the story entirely, and the phrase ‘good Samaritan’ does not appear in the text. Samaritans were outcasts because of their false beliefs. I chose the characters deliberately for a purpose. What would be an equivalent for today? Those on their way to Bible study passing by and the drug addict who stopped to help? You conclude that the Samaritan was good because of his actions. I want you to understand that this is a general principle.
I quiet myself: “I love You so much, Lord. To Your faithfulness there is no end. I worship You with all that I am. I watch for You. I ask for vision. I listen for You. Open the eyes of my heart and the ears of my heart that I may see You and hear You.”

I quiet myself: “I am here, Lord. I watch for You. I wait for You. I listen for You. What is it You want to show me today? What is it You want to speak to me today?”
My Lord responds: “Together we will subdue the earth. I have given you all power and authority over every evil thing. I returned to My Father and sent My Holy Spirit that you could be baptized by My power and My fire. It’s not in your strength, but by the power of My Holy Spirit that you will do even greater things than I did on earth.”
